By focusing on the industry’s multiple stakeholders—particularly Thai surrogates who have gestated babies for Australian intended parents—Whittaker writes with ethnographic sensitivity and compassion, while at the same time critiquing the “disruptive industry” within which surrogacy takes place.  A must-read for those interested in globalization, biotechnology, and reproductive justice.” -- Marcia Inhorn * author of Cosmopolitan Conceptions: IVF Sojourns in Global Dubai *\u003cbr\u003e\"Andrea Whittaker, one of the leading anthropologists working on reproduction has produced an important and timely book. We are presently at a moment when cross-border reproduction is at once, a lucrative industry, a facilitator of people's reproductive hopes and dreams and a site of intense scrutiny and regulation. It is this potent mixture that Whittaker analyses and describes so deftly, taking us through crises in South East Asian reproduction, that despite their particularity, span a globe of experience and connection. This assemblage of facilitators, intended parents, surrogates and the law form a powerful account of the centrality and importance of detailed ethnographic work to the future regulation of cross-border reproduction. Carefully woven and engrossing!\" -- Michal Nahman * author of Extractions: An Ethnography of Reproductive Tourism *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations                                                                                                                \u003cbr\u003e Preface                                                                                                                                               \u003cbr\u003e Notes on Language and Transliteration\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations                                                                                                             \u003cbr\u003e Introduction                                                                                                                           \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1.
